Try prepping your paper with a water wash before using it. It will soften the fibres and remove some of the sizing which will allow the paint to penetrate the paper more, this may resolve some of the streaking issues.
I tape the paper to a surface, you don’t have to but it does control the curling, then apply a very generous coat of clear water across the entire surface with a brush, checking in the light to make sure there are no dry areas. Let that water soak into the paper until there is no visible water on the surface, it just looks damp. I then apply another mopping of water and leave it to dry completely. When I come back to the dried paper it accepts that paint much more readily without having to use as much water.
I do this for all of my paper including watercolour sketchbooks I just find that little bit of prep pays off.
I always enjoy your videos and have liked watching your style evolve over time.
Do you let it dry before beginning to paint, Kathyarn?
@@peggydid That is up to you, you don’t have to. Wet on wet effects from watercolour are just as interesting as anything else.
Both are very nice. I do like the circles in purple at top of painting more than the green circle on bottom of new one. I guess I liked that you left white in and added circles in the white
I love both of them. Thank you so much for entertaining and educating at the same time!
OMG the 2 year old painting is soooooo gorgeous❣️❣️. But then, I think everything you do is. Can’t wait to see how the present one comes out. I’m relatively new to your channel, a matter of months, not years. Wish I had discovered this type of art long before I did. It appeals to my logical side with all the précise lines & doodles. But then it’s so beautiful too with the colors you choose.
Welcome to my little art corner then! I'm really happy you found me 🫶🏻 I'm about to send off the painting I did for the winner of my giveaway and then I will wait until she gets it, before I will post the video 😊 so probably about two more weeks or so. I was 52 when I rediscovered art, and it took me a good year to find what I like. I feel the same about wishing I had found my art style sooner, but everything happens for a reason. Now, I have the time to truly dive in and explore, which I wouldn't have had back then, so I guess it all worked out 😊 I hope you get to make the most of the time you can allow yourself to dedicate to play around, and I'm happy my videos will be there to keep you company 💕❤️
I like both too. Process sounded painful and disappointing due to stinky paper etc. It was totally authentic the way you tried out new paper.
Bettina, I love this piece! I think that the streaks in the paint worked to your advantage, adding highlights and lowlights to the doodles. As usual, the colored pencils really emphasized the shapes. I may have to get my hot press paper out and try the watercolors. Thanks, as always, for sharing your process!
I like the green and blue and purple together. Beautiful piece. Have a great weekend.😊 You could try the Copic white might work better for white dots.
I love this, the style and how you got there with it. Thanks so much for this video/tutorial. I will be trying something similar soon!
Yes, good! I like using coloured pencil to shade watercolour and have been doing it for quite a while. I sometimes use OMS to spread and soften the coloured pencils too.
I watch Miss Betsi too - she's great. I also watch Greatness and Peace rolls in - she has some lovely doodle art too.
Love this one! Thank you so much!
OH......so gorgeous!
I love Miss Betsi too! Interestingly I found you first, fell in love with your doodle style, then found Betsi. Now, I try to incorporate both of your styles when I'm doodling. I think they are both so unique and fascinating. I will say I prefer your "looser" style of laying down the background color. I've tried doing that too but just seem to end up with mud! I'll just have to keep trying. Anyway, thanks for the video. It's always a pleasure to watch you. Take care.
Thanks so much! It's all about practicing. And don't worry, my colors muddy up all the time! Then I just mop it up a bit and add more 😊 thank you for your comment ❤️💕
Hot pressed paper is much more difficult to use. The surface is pretty different from the NOT. If I want to distribute a wash evenly on this paper I do it wet on wet. And no fiddling, this is the reason for the streaks. Although the paint might sitting on top of the paper it dries much quicker. And if you fiddle with this area there will be no even wash left. I began my watercolor adventure on this kind of paper and man what was I frustrated, because it was so difficult to use. If you are used to NOT paper stick with it. It is much easier and much more forgiving. ❤❤❤
Love them both….thank you for all the tips especially about the shading….❤
You're welcome!
I love the second picture, it's so well balanced and not as busy as the first.😊💖
Both are beautiful. Your skills are amazing and your newer work is just stunning!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️💕
It’s funny how people like different types of paper isn’t it? I really don’t like Hannemuhle paper but I LOVE Arches and use it all the time because I just paint my best paintings on it, however, I’ve never ever noticed a smell. I’ve even just gone and sought some out to sniff it 😂 but nothing 🤷🏻♀️. Maybe you have a bad batch? Another lovely video anyway 😊
Bettina, this is such a lovely piece! Actually, I like both of them a lot! You have such a steady hand. Your lines are smooth and graceful. My lines are pretty shaky sometimes….You are an amazing artist. Too bad about the smelly paper….but glad that you found the hot press would work so well with yr pencils. I wonder if working wet on wet would help with the paint issue?
I bought a block of Baohong hot press and it is a bear to get used to, but it’s kinder to my pens. I only use it for neuroart and abstracts. We are reaching a truce😅
I love , love the new one! Everything about it just works!
💚💙💜
💕❤️
I love hot press paper, but it isn’t the easiest paper to use. Arches is one of my favorites. Looks like you’re using Cotman watercolors? I find the better water color paints may give you a better result. Also, by letting the paints dry naturally is best. I’ll now finish watching the painting process. ClaudiaSJI
I'm glad to hear that. Yes, I think Cotman is Windsor and Newton. I will definitely keep experimenting with it and see what works best for how I apply colors. Thank you for your comment!
@@_bettina_fernandez_ best of luck with the papers! For me the smell is off putting but I try and keep going. After the initial water application you will find that the smell is less. I paint with a fair amount of water and actually LIKE that it doesn’t immediately sink into the paper. This allows me to take the paint off or modify the colors a bit more. We all have our own”style” and likes and dislikes so it’s fine that you’re not an Arches fan. What you do is super cool and I’m enjoying watching you a lot. For me the surface you use is THE most important thing. You can apply paint with anything, and many things will provide a color or tone, but the surfaces you use will make or break many art pieces! Thanks for sharing your art process with us all! ClaudiaSJI
@@garyweybright3227 that's great to know, thank you for letting me know. And you are so right about the surface being the most important part of a painting. I'm slowly learning which paper surface will work best with what I'm trying to achieve, with a strong emphasis on slowly lol!
I love this. The color combo, the black lines and all the details. TFS!
And what I just thought of: Fabriano paper is vegan and very good as well. It is from Italy and maybe you would like this more…. It will not stink. That is for sure.
Love the old one, adore the new ❤
Aww, thank you! ❤️💕
Lovely video with lovely art.
Thank you for all the great tips! I appreciate it. I can definitely see it working better with different mediums. It was my first time working with it, so I was expecting a learning curve 😊 I will continue experimenting as I really do love the smooth texture of it. Doodling and coloring with my pencils was a dream!
Fascinating! What brand watercolor are you using? (Oh, I see in the comments!
For future reference, I usually have everything listed in the description box. Unless I forget some things 😆
Absolutely beautiful! ❤
💕❤️
Haces unos trabajos !tan bonitos ! Que parecen sacados de un mundo de fantasía ,gracias por deleitarnos con ellos
❤😊
Muchas gracias 💕❤️☺️
I have so many arches papers and had never such an issue. Return it. I do really think that there is something wrong with this specific one. But I think you will never be friends again with arches. Nevertheless there is no reason to keep a obviously damaged or somekind wrong paper. I wished you would have made my experience with this wonderful papers. But honestly, everything is just a matter of taste and that is everyone’s own cup of tea. ❤
Beautiful
💕❤️
I havent used it cos im in the wrong country, but ive heard Dick Blicks brand of hot pressed paper is quite good, more friendly than Arches
That's good to know. I will put Blick's hot watercolor paper on my list! Thanks ❤️💕
This is gorgeous! Is this hahnemuhle hot press paper? Paint tends to stay on top of the hot press paper. I use cold press (hahnemuhle) and the paper is still smooth 100% cotton and its absorbent. Good luck 😊❤
She's is talking about the actual drawing when pen, not the paint
Yep! And yes! That was exactly the experience I had, and I was amazed at how I was able to move the paint around even after it had dried quite a bit. I like it too and I'm excited to continue to play around with it using my other styles. Thank you for your comment ❤️💕
What did you decide is your favorite paper to use. I’ve been using arches cold press & haven’t noticed a smell. So perhaps something to do with it being cold press❓. So far the only thing I dislike about the Arches is that it warps & is difficult to get it flat again.
My all time favorite is the Bee paper, but so far I have only found it in one size. Granted, I haven't looked very hard either😆 My second favorite would have to be the Baohong, but I like to work on the smoother back side. This one can take loads of water, which works well for me. Both of these are cold pressed. The Hahnemühle and the stinky Arches are the first hit pressed ones I've used so far. I'll keep exploring, but I probably won't be buying any more Arches, sadly.
Both are lovely, but the second one is my favorite. It's always fun to look back and see how far we've come. People have been complaining in different groups of Arches smelling fishy, and the sizing being bad. Contact the place you bought it and try to get a refund. Have a great weekend!
Thank you 💕 I'm not worried about it too much. I'm sure I can find other uses for it. If not, I'll just donate it 😊
